The Bagdad Theatre was part of a multipurpose building in Ballard (later annexed into the City of Seattle and is now known as the Ballard neighborhood). The building was built and originally owned by the Fraternal Order of Eagles and the building is sometimes referred to by older citizens as the Eagles Building. The Bagdad Theatre featured the Wurlitzer theatre pipe organ, installed in 1927 (which may be the year the theatre was constructed).

The building still exists today, but the status of the theatre space is unknown but has likely been redeveloped for retail and office space.
